Content available remote Free-living interstitial Plathelminthes of the Baltic sea: diversity and abundance
EN
Free-living Plathelminthes constitute an important component of meiobenthic communities in various marine benthic environments, but research focusing on this group is generally scarce. The current study investigated the free-living interstitial flatworms of the shallow sandy sublittoral zone of the southern Baltic coast. Sediment samples were taken at Hel Peninsula at water depths of 1.5 m and 7 m, and the plathelminths were identified alive to the species level. In total, 22 species were identified. The majority of the species belonged to Kalyptorhynchia and Proseriata, but Acoela recently moved from Plathelminthes into their own phyllum and represented by Mecynostomidae, was the most numerous group. The average total plathelminth densities ranged between 6 and 74 ind. 10 cm[^-2]. The vertical distribution of the plathelminth fauna in the sediments was usually limited to the upper 3-4 cm, except for acoels which penetrated deeper into the sediment layers. The role of both sediment water saturation and oxygen availability appeared to be the main factors limiting flatworm occurrence in the sediments investigated in this study.

Carbonate cementation of sandy sediments is most common in tropical and subtropical climate, and quite rare in temperate climate. About 20 sites where carbonate cemented sandstones occur are known throughout the Polish Lowlands. A new outcrop of carbonate cemented sandstone was found near Gdynia-Orłowo (coast of the Gulf of Gdańsk). Field studies and microscopic analyses [optical microscopy and SEM] let to recognise the pattern of cementation of sandy sediments. Origin of the sandstones is connected with infiltration of rain water into glacial till (partially cracked). This till is the source of calcium carbonate transported by water into underlying fluvioglacial sands. Because of different sediments porosity and resulting degassing of CO2, CaCO3 precipitated. Additionally, elevated temperature and evaporation of water may also create favorable condition for precipitation. The process of cementation is related to the exposition of fluvioglacial sands layer caused by cliff abrasion (about 1 m per year). The best geochemical conditions for precipitation of CaCO3 are in the zone of contact with atmosphere, so this cementation seems to be recent. Carbonate cemented sandstones formed below the glacial till fall down and may be found in the colluvium of the cliff slope.
